Google Forms
Google Forms – The free, no-frills option that's genuinely fine for very small businesses or one-off surveys, though it lacks branding, advanced analytics, and CX-specific features (NPS/CSAT templates, closed-loop workflows) that dedicated tools offer.
Claude
Zoho Survey
Zoho Survey: A budget-friendly, highly capable tool that works flawlessly if your business is already operating within the Zoho software ecosystem.
Gemini
Where the models split.
Across the 1 category Google Forms and Zoho Survey both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks Google Forms ahead at least as often as not, with Gemini the most lopsided.
